Biography
John Taylor was from County Armagh, Northern Ireland, and he served in Parliament for South Tyrone from 1965 to 1972, preceding William Frederick McCoy. Taylor was affiliated with the Ulster Unionist Party, and he was a strong proponent of Ulster unionism. In February 1972, he survived an Official IRA drive-by shooting in which he was shot five times in the head, and he returned to Northern Irish politics. Due to his "hard-right" conservative views, he sat at the crossbench in the center of the Northern Ireland Assembly, leaving the UUP. After 2001, he was made a life peer as Baron Kilclooney of Armagh, and he retired from politics in 2007.
